Halloween this year was spent at the Makar family home, dressed in my wolf suit, terrorizing the neighborhood and having fun with close friends.
Star of Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are." Couldn't resist scooping him out of the clearance box at Barnes and Noble ...
I find it almost indescribably cute that you can take the wolf suit's hood off, and he has little felt ears and furry black hair.

Maurice Sendak’s classic book Where the Wild Things Are comes to the big screen in an adventure tale for every generation.
In June 2023, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed HB2789, which protects libraries from external restrictions to book collections. As a tribute, Harold Washington Library Center, Chicago's central library, set up a rack of unbanned books.
I'm amazed at the titles certain people wanted banned. "Where the Wild Things Are"? "Lord of the Flies"? Children and teenagers have been reading those for years, with no ill effect.
BTW, a real-life "Lord of the Flies", where six shipwrecked teenagers were marooned on a deserted island for almost a year and a half before being rescued, had a happy ending.

Dr. Seuss!?? "The Lorax" spoke for the trees! And after what happened to chestnut, elm and ash trees in the United States in the last 120 years because of man's ability to spread disease and insects to places they never were before, it's too bad he wasn't able to speak earlier.
If you don't want your children "indoctrinated" by books that offend you, don't bring them to the library. Set up a library at home, consisting of books approved by you. And if your children, protected from ideas you find unacceptable, grow up unable to adapt to a world that is changing whether you want it to or not... Well, you made your choice. Choose wisely.
